Well there is no-I mean NO suspense who will start the All Star game for the National League. The remarkable R.A. Dickey became the first National League pitcher to hurl back to back one-hitters, this time befuddling the Baltimore Orioles 5-0 Monday Night at Citifield.

I don't expect the Mets to stay in the race all year. In fact I would be stunned if they were still within 6 games let's say on August 1st. However my low expectations aside today, June 13th the Mets are still very much alive and should make a move to shake up the club and improve it a bit right now

The spotlight of the city may be shining brightly on Johan Santana after his no-hit performance on Friday, but as he flies under the radar, R.A. Dickey is making a case for being the best pitcher in baseball.

The Mets are getting a significant member of their club back tonight, and I’m not talking about Jason Bay. Bay, who was projected to return in the series opener against the Nationals, will not be in the line-up tonight due to illness; however Chris Young will be on the mound, making his season debut with the club.

Terry Collins wasn't my 1st choice as manager of the Mets. Truth be known after the dismissal of Jerry Manuel I was hoping the Mets would return to their glory days and bring in Wally Backman. Well Terry has done a solid job with a young club-except for juggling a terrible pen

Jason Bay is returning to full baseball activities later this week. Message to Terry Collins: keep him on the bench! Kirk Nieuwenhuis is going nowhere: he’s arguably the second best position player on the team

Now this is a great debate topic. Did Mets manager Terry Collins make the right move by removing David Wright from last nights loss to the Milwaukee Brewers?

Here is the setup. Brewers take a 8-0 lead in the 7th inning after hack relief pitcher DJ Carrasco of the Mets drilled Ryan Braun after Rickie Weeks of Milwaukee cracked a homerun off of Carrasco to make the score 8-0

There are few things more frustrating in professional sports than the notion that organizations have to play their highest paid players. The idea that a high-paid guy needs to go out and play to “earn” his money, despite the fact that he’s hitting .235 and hasn’t cleared the fences in 100 at bats, is all too common and completely infuriating.
